Brentwood Academy Recap

Our team continued to show great character on Friday night with an excellent comeback attempt against Brentwood Academy. After an early turnover the defense held the Eagles to a FG. Later in the 1st quarter our team put together an excellent 84 yard drive in 14 plays to take a 7-3 lead. But BA came right back with 2 TD's in the 2nd quarter to go in at half up 17-7. The 3rd quarter was a struggle but the defense made a solid goalline stand limiting the Eagles to a FG but then the Owls misfired on a punting situation and gave up another TD to go down 27 to 7. Our boys were not going to give up and the offense started clicking and produced another long drive going 80 yards in 15 plays. The defense got a 3 and out and the Owls went more quickly this time with a 79 yard drive in 6 plays. Now we only trailed by 6 with 9:41 to go. Brentwood came back with a great drive converting to 3rd and long plays and kicked their 3rd field goal of the night. The Owls kept firing and got a TD late to make it 30 to 28 but could not come up with the onside kick. It was a tough loss but once again our team fought to the finish.
